CAR SILICONE SEALANT

Applications

This silicone for cars is ideal for sealing joints, gaps, and cracks inside, outside, and underneath vehicles. It is suitable for applications such as sealing leaking window joints, water hoses, low-temperature gasket applications, and use as a windscreen silicone. In addition to automotive use, this automotive sealant is also suitable for sealing, bonding, and mending DIY tasks around the home where a black silicone sealant finish is required.

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free of loose materials, dust, grease, rust and other contaminants. Use masking tape to get a clean, even sealant line and to eliminate cleaning difficulties on porous surfaces. Remove tape before sealant skins.

Limitations 

• This bostik car silicone sealant is not suitable for cylinder head gaskets or parts permanently exposed to fuel.
• It is also not suitable for alkaline surfaces such as concrete, fibrous cement, plaster, asbestos, or marble. Use on certain metals including mild steel, lead, copper, tin, galvanized iron, brass, or zinc may cause corrosion.
• The sealant is not paintable and may discolour when in contact with some organic elastomers such as EPDM, APTK, Neoprene, and bituminous materials.
• Not suitable for mirrors as it may damage the reflective backing, or for natural stone surfaces such as marble, granite, and quartzite due to potential staining. It will not adhere to some plastics including polyethylene, polypropylene, and Teflon.
• Not suitable for fish tanks due to the presence of a fungicide. Application should also be avoided when relative humidity is below 10%, as this may affect curing performance.
